We pulled this adorable office setup off of one of our favorite blogs UnClutterer. A small desk in the corner of your home office can provide your children with a place to play giving you the opportunity to answer a few emails while keeping an eye on the kids.

Looking for a few ideas? Here are just a few desks we like:

There’s plenty of room for art supplies in this two drawer play table we found on ChildrensDesks.com.

A large surface like this Fundy Play Table give preschoolers a lot of room to work. The tabletop is available as a chalkboard or dry erase board and the caster wheels make it mobile so you can move it from one room to another.

This airport themed desk is ready for take off!  It features a control tower with storage shelves and runway graphics on the desktop.

A computer desk is a great way to promote early education. This desk is big enough for two!
